That is disappointing. How hard would it be to mill the flange flat, assuming the bolt holes are in the proper orientation? Milling it would take 5 minutes. . however figuring a way to fixture it on the mill table and the other flanges without distorting then from their 'relaxed ' position would be a nightmare. . I've been a machinist for years and I can't imagine a realistic way of doing it given the sheet metal heater box under the flanges. . nothing to grip. . . Then again, for 3 grand they should be perfect outta the box. . and if you screw up the exchanger I'd bet they be non returnable. . |
